Abstract

The TJET project offers a comprehensive database for exploring the supply of transitional justice (TJ) in every country of the world. TJET provides detailed descriptive information on domestic, foreign, and international prosecutions; truth commissions; reparations policies; vetting policies; amnesty laws and offers; and UN investigations. This article describes TJET’s quantitative dataset, consisting of longitudinal data from 1970 to 2020, with over 400 measures related to the design and operation of TJ mechanisms. Because TJ has become integral to discussions related to democracy and rule of law promotion, as well as peacebuilding, it is necessary that researchers and practitioners use the most comprehensive information possible for grounding their analysis and advocacy. The TJET dataset is unique not only in its global coverage, but also in its custom sampling feature, allowing users to select which types of cases to compare. This article provides descriptive data on TJ attributes, analysis of new trends, and an examination of the temporal relationship between different TJ mechanisms.

介绍过渡司法评估工具（TJET）数据库

TJET项目为探索世界各国的过渡时期司法供应提供了一个全面的数据库。TJET提供有关国内、国外和国际起诉的详细描述性信息；真相委员会;赔偿政策;审查政策;大赦法和提议；以及联合国的调查。本文描述了TJET的定量数据集，包括1970年至2020年的纵向数据，其中包含400多项与TJ机制设计和运行相关的措施。由于TJ已成为与促进民主和法治以及建设和平有关的讨论的组成部分，因此研究人员和从业人员有必要利用尽可能全面的信息来为他们的分析和倡导奠定基础。TJET数据集的独特之处不仅在于其全球覆盖范围，还在于其自定义采样功能，允许用户选择要比较的病例类型。本文提供了关于TJ属性的描述性数据，分析了新的趋势，并检查了不同TJ机制之间的时间关系。

期刊介绍： Journal of Peace Research is an interdisciplinary and international peer reviewed bimonthly journal of scholarly work in peace research. Edited at the International Peace Research Institute, Oslo (PRIO), by an international editorial committee, Journal of Peace Research strives for a global focus on conflict and peacemaking. From its establishment in 1964, authors from over 50 countries have published in JPR. The Journal encourages a wide conception of peace, but focuses on the causes of violence and conflict resolution. Without sacrificing the requirements for theoretical rigour and methodological sophistication, articles directed towards ways and means of peace are favoured.
